Intro to the Law

The book of Leviticus is an interesting one because it is primarily categorized in the legal literary genre. However, it is a book placed right in the middle of a narrative telling of the wilderness journey of the children of Israel. It also has a couple brief sections that break out of the legal genre and back into the narrative story. Being able to understand where Leviticus fits into the narrative, how it is outlined, and what connections it has to the gospel is imperative to interpreting it correctly and applying it to our lives thousands of years after the law was given.
